I am trying to install Debian 9, but my PC has an Atheros wireless component that requires a proprietary driver for WiFi and Bluetooth. The first time I did this, at the screen on the installer asking for the driver, I skipped it. The installation appeared to continue normally through Ethernet but when I tried to boot, it got stuck on this screen. I believe the driver is the problem, but I am not sure what the top lines mean. (memory error?)

After that, I tried putting the driver files from the Debian website on a USB drive and inserting it when prompted at install. Some of the driver files the installer claimed to be missing went away from the screen, but there were three more from ath10k that were missing. They were not included in the deb file from Debian. I looked for the specific files online but I could not find them.

Just to try, I downloaded the ISO for the non-free live OS. I booted into it and everything worked as intended. No nasty error or freeze. I tried installing from the non-free complete CD but I end up at the same problem. Though the output was more detailed, the system eventually froze:

right.so if you cannot provide any more information, i'm not sure how to help.this search suggests it has something to do with the GPU.but you will likely need to search more, with search terms combining make and model of CPU & GPU, and excerpts from boot messages.
